It probably can be fixed - the PassIFox's page says it should work - but I've realized that since I'm now using KeePass as a master database, there is no reason to upload them to Firefox's servers, as well.

After connecting FFox to KeePass, I've encountered some weird behaviour. I'd been using Firefox's Sync feature for Passwords for a long time. Consider turning off Firefox's Password Sync feature. Note that while I am using this with Firefox (on Windows), all of the add-ons should also be available for Chrome. If you'd rather explore on your own, see the bottom of this post for a shortened version of the process, with links. I ended up liking this setup, so here's how you can replicate it. Thanks, Jeremie, for pointing it out to me.Īfter a long time of using both KeePass and (synced) Firefox password manager to store my passwords, I wanted to find out whether I can use KeePass for both. I'm striking out the links to it in this article. 2019: The links to PassIFox are dead now.

Click the "Add" button and the process should be pretty straight forward.Update 17. You can find this feature by right-clicking your entry in KeePass, select "Edit entry.", go to the Autotype tab and look for "Use custom sequences for specific windows". This helps keeping your database neat and tidy. An example is having one entry called "Google account", and set up custom sequences for both YouTube and Gmail login screens.

This not only allows you to use whatever KeePass entry title you'd like (as you can use the custom strings for matching the actual window anyway), but also makes it possible to use a single entry for logging into entire account families. The solution is custom sequences for specific windows! This allows you to add your own custom strings for global auto-type to match window titles with. This is a natural thing, as the title for some windows can simply be "Log in", and you don't want such an undescriptive title in your database. I assume this is where your problem lies The window's title doesn't match the entry title you want in KeePass. It does, however, require that you set yourself up so that it works.īy default, when you invoke global auto-type, KeePass tries to match the active window's title with any of your KeePass entries' titles. Personally, I like using global auto-type because there are a lot fewer actions involved when logging in. Selecting the entry in KeePass and pressing Ctrl+V
